For centuries, men have spoken to other men covertly about women. Combining the tools of myth criticism and gynocentric criticism, Danahy discusses this phenomenon in relation to fiction by and about women. Discourse about the novel is discourse in disguise about women, Danahy says, connecting gender and genre in a reinterpretation of three major works of French fiction, The Princess of Cleves, Madame Bovary, and Little Fadette. His study redefines the importance of Jungian as opposed to Freudian categories for literary history, theory, and criticism, and unmasks those reading strategies that have pushed the novelthe domestic genreto the margins of the literary canon. Boldly intended to change the way people think about literature, the book applies feminist criticism to the study of structures and forms rather than to themes and images. It breaks new ground in the synthesis of American feminist criticism with French philosophical speculation. Rich in metaphor and paradox, this prizewinning work offers adventurous reading to students of French, European, and comparative literature and to feminist scholars.
